Ethanol to Ethylene Conversion, Hummingbird Technology July 2018 TechnipFMC Process Technology Hummingbird E2E Technology | 1 TechnipFMC Process Technology (PT) ► A global technology licensing business that combines leading proprietary process technologies from TechnipFMC, Badger, Zimmer and others ► Offers a market-leading portfolio of technologies, proprietary or through alliances in Refining, Syngas, Petrochemicals, Polymers and Gas Monetization ► In line with TechnipFMC’s strategy to focus on technology to differentiate us from our competitors ► Headquartered in Houston with centers around the world ► R&D and piloting facilities in US and Europe | 2 Ethylene Production From Sustainable Feedstock Steam cracking of liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons is industry standard ethylene Polyethylene production technology. Ethylene Oxide EDC & Vinyl Chloride Bio-Ethanol Reaction Separation Purification Bio-Ethylene MEG/PET Ethylbenzene Minor Impurities Process Water & Styrene VAM ® Hummingbird provides a sustainable ethylene production route: LAO Bioethanol dehydration to produce bio-ethylene Ultra-Selective Ethylene Production Process Hummingbird® is an IChemE award winning gas phase reaction process, using a proprietary hetropolyacid heterogeneous catalyst. Ethanol Ethylene H+ C H OH C H + H O 2 5 via DEE 2 4 2 The reaction occurs via diethyl ether [DEE] intermediate, with Ultra-selective performance: 100 Hummingbird® With over 99% carbon conversion of ethanol to o • 200-270 C high grade ethylene. • Low temperature operation. 98 • Simple separation and purification. • Reduced utility requirements. 96 Alternative catalyst Carbon Selectivity (%) Selectivity Carbon systems 315-460oC 94 Increasing Pressure Demonstrated Technology The process has been demonstrated in a fully recycling facility with purification columns similar to a commercial plant. • The plant was operated from 2009 to 2015 for over 36,000 hours. • Gained understanding on start-up, shutdown, and steady state operations. • Catalyst lifetime was proven for 2 years operation. The programme completed by producing commercial grade ethylene product using commercial grade ethanol feed and commercially produced Hummingbird® catalyst. Hummingbird® Process Configuration A simple Process Flow Scheme converts ethanol to ethylene. Ethylene A series of ultra-selective adiabatic reactors operate at mild temperature and pressure. The Hummingbird® process does not require addition of dilution water or Purification steam to prevent catalyst coking. Minor Impurities Ethanol Clean-up Vaporisation Reaction Primary Separation Ultra high selective operation Simple clean-up processes are used to minimizes by-product maintain the productivity of the production. Hummingbird® catalyst. Separation and purification A few simple process operations are systems are simplified. sized according to the expected ethanol feedstock quality. A high purity ethylene product watering - can be produced with a De system of distillation columns, with a low utility usage. Process Water Typical GC Analysis Output Bioethanol #1 ► A typical high purity 1G Ethanol Bioethanol #2 ► A potential fuel grade ethanol | 7 Designing for Bioethanol Impurities Hummingbird® technology includes an bioethanol clean-up ‘toolkit’: ► Bioethanol is analysed for certain trace chemicals. ► Design of pre-treatment unit and E2E process is tailored to analysis. ► Growing reference library of commercially available bioethanols, with over 60 ethanol samples already tested. Process designs can accommodate a variety of bioethanol feedstocks. ► Process design to characteristics of specific bioethanol feedstock. ► Opportunity to process less expensive bioethanols. | 8 Ensuring Process Performance & Development The process can use a variety of bio-ethanol feedstocks. • Hummingbird® was developed to use fuel grade bio-ethanol feedstock, which has variable quality. • Bioethanol is analysed for certain trace chemicals. • Design of the process is tailored to the bioethanol analysis. TechnipFMC pilot plant • Providing an accurate platform for process design and performance guarantees. • Assures Hummingbird® catalyst manufacturing quality. • And is used to develop technology improvements.
